FRIENDS OF MANDEVILLE, ST ALBANS 

ACTIVITIES TO ENGAGE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES TO ENHANCE THE SCHOOL AND LOCAL COMMUNITY
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
